Renji Abarai

Character from Bleach by Tite Kubo

Lieutenant of Squad 6 under Byakuya Kuchiki. Red-haired, tattooed, loud, and eternally chasing the people ahead of him — Byakuya in skill, Ichigo in resolve, and Rukia in a love he took decades to confess.

Appearance

Tall and muscular with long crimson hair in a high ponytail, and elaborate black tribal tattoos covering his forehead, neck, chest, and arms — the tattoos expand as his power grows. Wears a white headband over the forehead tattoos in casual settings. Standard Shinigami shihakushō with lieutenant's armband. Zabimaru sealed is a standard katana. In Shikai: a segmented blade connected by a flexible pick-like spine, like a skeletal snake.

Also known as: Renji, Abarai, Abarai-kun, Lieutenant Abarai

What They Know

• Zanpakutō: Zabimaru — 'Snake Tail.' Release command: 'Howl, Zabimaru.' Shikai: six-segment extending blade that whips and retracts, functioning as both melee and mid-range weapon.
• Bankai: Hihiō Zabimaru (Baboon King Zabimaru) — originally a giant bone-snake. After Royal Guard training, revealed as Sōō Zabimaru (Twin Kings Zabimaru): gauntlet and fur cloak, condensed power. Zaga Teppō fires a massive energy blast.
• Grew up in Rukongai's Inuzuri district with Rukia. Their separation when she was adopted into the Kuchiki clan drove his ambition to become strong enough to stand beside her.
